Post subject: | Shun the Frumious Banjitar |
I was recently asked to contribute information about 6-string banjos to a newsletter. Then I discovered that the name of the article was going to include the word "banjitar," a derogatory term used to make fun of guitar players who swallow the marketing hype that 6-string banjos will turn them into "real banjo players" instantly. Even if that were true, which it's not, such thinking betrays ignorance about the 6-string banjo's origins or its long history as a Jazz instrument both in the United States and in Europe. So I blogged about it. Plus I made a little sort of cartoon (below). http://www.paulracemusic.com/musical-in ... -banjitar/ Attachment: frumious_banjitar_720.gif [ 56.52 KiB | Viewed 16981 times ] |

The article that spurred the “Banjitar” Blog is now published here: http://blog.deeringbanjos.com/what-is-a-banjitar/ One of the photos isn’t properly explained, but I gave the editor such a hard time I think I’ll let it go. |
